Comparing the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 and the Toyo Celsius AS2, it's clear that these all-season tyres have their distinct strengths and weaknesses. Both models have been vigorously tested and rated by Pirelli and Toyo, revealing vital information about their performance.
The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2, made in Romania, has an overall rating of 68%, placing it as one of the top performers. It excels especially in areas such as aquaplaning - longitudal and dry braking, as revealed in the ACE test where it secured the 5th position out of 9 competitors. Its strong performance continued in the ADAC and autobild tests, where it managed to secure the 2nd and the 5th spot respectively. The tyre displayed precise and safe characteristics both during wet and dry conditions, and even on winter roads. However, some of the drawbacks of this tyre include a lower than average life expectancy, as well as a higher-than-average weight.
Note that the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 has been replaced by the newer Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3.
Moving to the Toyo Celsius AS2 which is made in Japan, it received a rating of 54%. Based on the results of the ACE test, it came in at 9th place. The ADAC and autobild tests painted a similar picture, with the tyre taking 11th and 9th place respectively. The best features of the tyre included comfort and low rolling resistance. In addition, it's praised for its good projected life expectancy and low fuel consumption. On the downside, the tyre's performance was not up to the mark under dry, wet, and winter road conditions.
Summarizing the data from all the tests, it appears that the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 is the stronger of the two tyres, despite its higher weight and lower projected life expectancy. However, the Toyo Celsius AS2 also has a strong performance particularly in terms of comfort and rolling resistance, so the final verdict would depend on user priorities and individual driving conditions.
